What I don't understand is why many folks are against this. The internet has operated under net neutrality since it's inception. The net neutrality proponents are simply trying to keep things the way they have been. The big telecommunications people are trying to change the way they are allowed to operate by being able to charge more based on usage, plus have the ability to control more of the content. It seems to me that if you enjoy the internet as it now is, then you should be in favor of the net neutrality legislation. <br /><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><br />"Network neutrality (also net neutrality, Internet neutrality) is a principle proposed for user access networks participating in the Internet that advocates no restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and the modes of communication."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-73475317823825028942010-12-14T16:16:15.627-08:002010-12-14T16:16:15.627-08:00Many people believe the internet is a portal to un...Many people believe the internet is a portal to unlimited information.

It's a privately owned facility just like YouTube.<br />But I *can* go to a public (as in "owned by") with that same soap box and preach to my heart's content. And by the same token, I can put up a web server on the Internet and say anything I want.<br />YouTube *does* go a step further and allow people to say *almost* anything they want. But if someone points out to YouTube that something is inflammatory or downright dangerous, then YouTube becomes party to the posting. If they permit it to stay, they are liable.<br />So, once YouTube is notified that something is "bad", it is in their interest (because of liability) to decide if it should stay or not. It's their website so they get to choose.<br />Having said all that, it's arguably true that, should YouTube remove something this *isn't* inflammatory or incendiary or illegal BUT claim that it is (and remove it), then they are in a different territory, that of libel. The defamed party *could*, I think, take them to civil court.<br />But, then again, I'm not an attorney so what the hell do I know?Ed Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332424242231481277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-87022336301672604342010-12-13T14:19:20.221-08:002010-12-13T14:19:20.221-08:00The purported reason for this move on the part of ...The purported reason for this move on the part of YT/GOOG is because of those Islamist videos and terrorist acts in the UK. That's giving GOOG cover to delete conservative videos and the accounts that post them, to scratch Larry and Sergey's political itch (leftists) and to keep CAIR from whining when they delete Mohammed El-Mohammed videos about murdering infidels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
